This week we invited language teacher, Magdalena Dygala (@magdaspring<\/a>), to introduce us to Radom, Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelly:<\/strong> Which landmark is a must for visitors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magdalena Dygala: <\/strong>The Old Town in Krakow with one of the biggest medieval squares in Europe is definitely a must for tourists visiting Poland. You can start your exploration from the historical path of the Polish kings \u2013 \u2018Royal Route\u2019 and go to the Wawel Castle where you can admire Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s painting \u2018Lady with an Ermine\u2019. You can also have a nice walk in cobbled streets full of majestic monuments, visit atmospheric cafes and museums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelly:<\/strong> What are popular local dishes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magdalena Dygala:<\/strong> Dumplings (Polish PIEROGI) which are made of dough filled with a variety of fillings, for example: meat, sauerkraut and mushrooms, seasonal fruit, buckwheat, sweet cottage cheese or boiled potatoes with fried onions. Check out these dishes here, https:\/\/migrationology.com\/best-polish-foods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shelly:<\/strong> Describe an activity your English learners enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magdalena Dygala:<\/strong> Music can serve as a great source of inspiration for your students, evoking wonderful memories and emotions, which is why I love involving my students into creative wrriting activities with music. I ask my students to close their eyes and imagine the best day in their life. After listening to a song (for example \u2018Over the rainbow\u2019 by Israel Kamakawiwo\u2019Ole) , they can draw a picture of what they\u2019ve just imagined, share it with their partner and write a story. These are some of my students\u2019 videos:
